When using F-mount (C16240-20UP01), an F-mount adapter can be subject to light leaks due to
the mating flange mechanism. When used with a high sensitivity, long exposure camera, such the
ORCA-Fire, it may be possible to detect photons originating from the F-mount light leakage. In this
case, it is recommended to create a dark condition for the camera such as a dark room, dark box
or wrap the F-mount flange area with a dark cloth. Be careful maintain the clearance distances in
the venting areas of the camera for proper cooling air flow.
1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 7-1 or 7-2 before operating of the camera.
